Today, on his birthday, the short-fingered vulgarian was revealed to be the subject of a criminal investigation by the Special Counsel for apparently trying to block an investigation into whether Trump or his associates colluded with Russia or had improper dealings with Russia prior to the election-- or after it.

This is not "fake news." Trump's personal lawyer has boasted that he was responsible for the firing of federal attorney Preet Bharara, looking into Trumpco criminality, bribery, money laundering, petty grifting, and international mob ties. "He's gonna get you," the dude said. And the tweeting termagent fumes, increasingly isolated, more and more obviously the world's biggest loser.

That personal criminal probe of Trumplethinskin is on top of increasingly determined bipartisan investigations in the US Senate. And the assembled team of investigators may be the most powerful ever assembled by the Department of Justice -- or anyone else. It includes a man called the top trial lawyer in the country, someone who has handled over 100 cases in front of the Supreme Court (arguing cogently and without notes), experts of Russian criminality esp. in the financial realm, experts on mob operations, money laundering experts, and so on.

When the chattering ninnies on Fox News tried to dismiss the Russian hacking into US elections and more than half of the 50 US states, noted Fox newsman Chris Wallace contradicted them directly: "This is not a nothingburger."

Some aspects of these now consolidated worldwide investigations have been going on since before Il Douche d'Or took office, and some apparently go back years. No one knows who will fall victim to thuggery or coverup charges, but in the case of Slippery Dick Nixon, all of the people immediately around the president ended up in the slammer.

The more people who are interviewed, the more people will be talking to the press, and the tighter and more the terrified but impotent Trump and his moronic minions will become. Already, people are fleeing his vile satrapy. Most government positions that require Congressional approval are unfilled, no one even named, and of the few who have been selected and who have not declined or backed out, most of them have not actually been submitted to Congress for approval.

Partisans in the House and Senate who have made a mockery of investigations into how a hostile foreign power attempted to influence a US election and continue to influence US policy will have to decide quickly whether they are so certain there is nothing wrong that they are willing to be fitted for prison stripes for aiding and abetting what seems like obvious subversion.

From the time the Republican platform was unaccountably altered by Trumpistas when it spoke of Putin's Ukraine intrusions right up to this week when the international laughingstock was trying to reverse some punishments imposed by Nobel Prize winner and internationally admired President Obama, something fishy has been going on. Everyone around the cat grabber has lied about their contacts with the oligarchy and acted in a manner so furtive and villainous that they could be trying out for the role of Boris Badenov in a Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoon revival.

There is no way anyone can look at any of this and legitimately conclude anything except "They were up to something." And none of this can be good news for a 71-year-old brat famous for throwing tantrums (not all of them on Twitter), who has never released his medical report but who has been seen dazed and confused in public (check out that press conference in Israel, where he wandered off in a stupor), who has ADD, who can no longer speak in coherent sentences or use words of more than a couple of syllables (the decline is clear in recorded videos from today compared with years past), and who does not even have the energy to walk through the streets of Taormina with actual world leaders in search for the kind of local models von Gloeden made famous because it takes a golf cart to keep him from passing out.

As the real estate bastard who has had Russian rubles bail him out more than once continues to be thwarted, to contradict himself repeatedly, and to be his own worst enemy (well, not while I'm alive), the noise will only get worse, the "leaks" more pervasive. The country maybe cannot stand much more of this slo-mo catastrophe, but it is stronger than he is. Since he has not been "getting any" with his wife in another state until this week, maybe his mood will lighten, though it also may be that having her within reach won't actually change anything as his fantasy world collapses.

One sign of unindited co-conspirators is the bots who appear in forums like this one to defend the indefensible, always beginning with personal attacks on "moonbats" and "cucks," before moving into bullshit. As has been pointed out, bullshit is not a lie, it is something spread with absolute and total disregard for whether it is true or not. Bullshit is spewed without reference to "Truth," even when proof to the contrary is immediately at hand.

"Who would ask for a loyalty oath" like that, he asked. And tout le monde saw him ask rally goers to raise their hands and promise to vote for him. And the bots hereabouts who sneer without facts and attack people rather than arguments are yet further evidence of the desperate lengths these malicious anti-Americans will go to. As the house of cards comes crashing down, those who refuse to admit the Russian hacking in the US, like Putin's involvement in Brexit, in Germany, in France, and other countries, will show their true colors and reveal the yellow stripe of cowardice on their backs.

Note, for example, that Trump has denied Russia hacked the US election operation, right from the beginning and right up to this week. And he has done that even knowing classified details that he continues to deny and to lie about.

Today, btw, the US Senate, all but unanimously, voted to add serious additional sanctions against international outlaw Russia. Those will be put in place by literal Act of Congress, not by means of an executive order that our current executive can undo. And while the search goes on to find out exactly who helped the hackers subvert a national election, however much pain that process brings with each new revelation, at least it may be such a distraction that the grand plan for destruction and subversion is thwarted.

Today is certainly the beginning of the end for this fool, what our Founders would have called a monarchist and today we would call a dictator. How much a once great country and now former world leader can survive while all this plays out remains to be seen.

This is entirely "fake news". What ill wind did you blow in on? Never saw you post here before. Anyway.. it is routine that all the federal attorneys appointed by the previous administration are asked to step down (resign) when the new administration comes in. In this case, there were 46 of them. Preet Bharara was one of them. Preet was the only one of the 46 who did not submit his resignation - so Trump fired him. Nothing at all wrong with that.

All the rest of your comments are just more re-hashing of old garbage that died. I suggest you find a new hobby. Maybe go download some lesbian porn.

Trump most likely is under investigation for obstruction, but to be fair, that does not mean that the evidence will support it. I think we all need not to get ahead of our skis here. We have all been spoiled by 5 breaking news items in a day. These investigations usually take months, if not years.

No.. it's all fake news. Yes, they are doing an investigation.. an investigation of nothing. They might as well investigate if the Tooth Fairy really exists.. and if so, can the Tooth Fairy sue for slander for being referred to as a "Fairy"?In fact.. you have inspired me to write a new topic related to this.. "Tabloid News"

That might actually be a good thing for Trump. Rather than have a daily slew of silly attacks on Trump, the moonbats will be stuck with that big turd of Mueller's investigation that is going nowhere. The longer it goes on, the more it will look like a Witch Hunt, and the more foolish the lib***** will look.

You know that they will never let that happen. The media makes too much money from clickbaiting, and as long as they are able to drum up their devoted fan-base, they have no reason at all to stop what they are doing. Best to just ignore it and let the windbags blow steam.

I welcome an investigation into Trump. Whether he's innocent or guilty, I want this crap over with.

Unfortunately, since the Moonbats are all assho*es, they have an unlimited supply of crap. That's what assho*es do! They take bits of reality.. chew it up.. digest it with caustic acid, mucus slime, and bacteria.. and voila.. CRAP!

I do have an idea though. There should be a yearly pool of money.. say $100 million.. which is allocated evenly to each member of Congress to be applied to investigations. If the Moonbats want to spend their allocated money on overblown, silly investigations.. let them! Then any money left over at the end of that year can be used in some other way - such as donating to charities - or even funding the DNC or RNC rather than having the DNC and RNC to solicit donations.

He is indeed under investigation and we know that because he isn't combating the reporting; he's instead been combating the "way" it was leaked and how it's being reported, not the actual fact that he is under investigation. I do agree people are jumping far ahead of what the reality is at this point, nothing has been proven. We have NO evidence that Russia was actually able to change votes. We have NO evidence that anyone in #45's administration colluded with Russia. The investigation is ongoing and when it's complete, hopefully we on the left will accept it even if it clears the president and his administration of any wrongdoing. We cannot be like the Republicans and keep this ongoing like they did with those pointless Benghazi investigation and pointless Fast & Furious investigation that found absolutely nothing, with the exception of the Benghazi investigation uncovering the Hillary email situation that began another pointless investigation.

Do you mean the same Huffington Post that got a female CEO who then purged male employees in the guise of gender equality. Hysterically, in their tweet bragging about it, they let it drop that they apparently don't employ men and blacks.
